Other projects due for completion in the next year include a new £230 million Royal Hospital for Sick Children and Department of Clinical Neurosciences in Edinburgh and a new £28 million community hospital in Ayrshire and Arran.

Health secretary Shona Robison said continued investment in healthcare facilities would ensure that NHS Scotland remains at the forefront of providing safe, effective and high-quality care.

She added: "As we enter a new year, it seems apt to reflect on the significant progress made in delivering some key new facilities, which are already beginning to transform the care thousands of patients receive every day.

"Looking ahead, nearly half a billion pounds of hospitals and health centres will be completed in 2017-18 - making care more effective, efficient and safe.

"Our investment in these new facilities will help us to achieve our ambition of transforming the way health and social care services are delivered, keeping NHS Scotland at the forefront of delivering world-class care."
